Melting
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~lenov/meltinghome.html
Melting computes, for a nucleic acid duplex, the enthalpy and entropy of the helix-coil transition, and then its melting temperatures. Three types of hybridisation are possible: DNA/DNA, DNA/RNA, and RNA/RNA. The program uses the method of nearest-neighbors. The set of thermodymanic parameters can easily be changed, for instance following an experimental breakthrough. The program is coded in ISO C and can be compiled on any operating system. Some Perl scripts are provided to show how melting can be used as a block to construct more ambitious programs.
